1.4 is what percent of 34000 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 34000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 34000, so we can write it down as 100%=34000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34000
2) x%=1.4
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=34000/1.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.4 is what percent of 34000

100%/x%=34000/1.4
(100/x)*x=(34000/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24285.714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24285.714285714) to get x
100/24285.714285714=x
0.0041176470588235=x
x=0.0041176470588235

now we have:
1.4 is 0.0041176470588235% of 34000
